The Lisle Defalcation.-OnW Wednesday last
J. Alex. Preston, Esq, counsel for the First Ma
tional Bank of Baltimore, filed bill in the Cir
cult Court here against John d. Lisle and Annie
L. Lisle, his wife. The object is to surrogate
plaintiff to the rights Of certain creditors holding
liens under deed to Mrs. Annie L. Lisle from
her parents, George Crawford and wife. The bill
charges that John D. Lisle was employed as
clerk by the bank for many years, his residence
being in the 4th district of Baltimore county, on
the farm mentioned, the title to which was vested
in his wife; and that this farm was subject to liens
in favor of VIM. L. and Benton Crawford (Mrs.
Lise's brothers) for 81 ,450 each; that Lisle en-
bezzled large sums of money from the bank, the
amount of which is stated at SS9,939.70 and
that the liens in question were paid off with part
of the money so embezzled, while other large por-
tons were expended by Lisle in improvement on
the farm in the way of erecting buildings, fertil
izing the soil, &c. The plaintiff therefore, claims
a right to be subrogated to the liens held by VIM.
L. and Benton Crawford, and to be reimbursed
the money fraudulently expended by Lisle in i'm
proving the farm. Hence the Intervention and
aid of the court are prayed.

How "Smart" Auctioneer Missed It.
A few weeks ago prominent Baltimore county
farmer determined to sell off his stock and went
to see an old fogy auctioneer about conducting
the sale for him. Now, the farmer is great
friend of The UNION and when the subject OF ad-
vertising the sale was brought up the auctioneer
made inquiry as to how the announcement was to
be made The farmer said that he proposed to
advertise in The UNION, when the auctioneer
feigned much surprise and said if he did he would
have no one at his sale. But the farmer, being
wide-awake, intelligent man, saw the matter from
different point of view and said he would take
chances on that The sale was advertised in The
UNION, and also in one other county paper, and
when the day came there was large crowd of
representative farmers and business men from the
surrounding country for many miles. The farm
err, remembering what the auctioneer had said
about having no one at the sale, determined to
quietly make inquiry among those making pur-
chases and ascertain direct from them where they
saw the sale advertised, without letting them
know why he asked. In every instance those
from whom he made inquiry gave the same an
swer, viz, owe saw the advertisement an The
UNION" This the farmer thought conclusive evil
dence and convinced him that he had perhaps only
made a mistake in one particular-he employed
the wrong auctioneer.

Profitable Cattle Feeding.-The Belair
1Egis of last week says: A big Woods farmer
sold lot of cattle, on Monday, the gain on which
proved that cattle feeding, even at present low
prices, is the most profitable branch of general

December. He began feeding them corn and cob
meal, with little oats, on the 18th of December.
During December he fed of this lbs. to each
steer daily. In the month of January, lbs. Per

The A. u. M. P. Church.-The 37th annual
conference of the Maryland district A. U. Metho-
dist Protestant Church will convene May 18th,
1887, at 10 o'clock a. M, in Bowen A. U. M. 2.
church, Middletown, Carroll county, Md. This
conference is part of the oldest colored church
in the world. 1t was organized in 1905, by the
Rev. Peter Spencer, colored man. 1t was first
established in Wilmington, Delaware. The Mary
land district embraces all of the State of Maryland
and the District of Columbia. There are So
churches and missions, school houses and par:
sonages in the State the value of which is placed
at upwards of 10000. There are 80 travelling
ministers in the district. Rev. E. W. Scott, of
Baltimore county. has filled the office OF president
of the conference at different times for upwards of
ten years. 1t is thought this conference meeting
will be more largely attended than any similar
meeting heretofore.

Net profit per steer. 1884
Besides, the farmer estimates the value of the
manure from each steer at SIS. One shoat was
kept in tho barn yard for every three cattle, and
was worth at least S. more in the spring than in
the fall. Upon this calculation each steer netted
him a profit of about $3.50.

Some Spring Poetry

Some Spring Poetry
The merry spring is here
At last.
The days of winter drear,
1t really would appear,
Are past.
The birds are back again
For good;
And showers of rain
We soon shall see again,
Or should.
Meanwhile with bated breath,
We trust
That, as Ezekiel saith,
We shan't be choked to death
With dust.

as to its location. The proper place for the clock

-Commutation rates on the b. d o. road are
cheap enough. For instance Jessup's is II miles
from the city and quarterly communication ticket
to that station costs about $l7. A three months
ticket to Towsontown on the Md. Central road,
which is only seven miles from the city, would cost
about SIS, which is more than double the rate on
the B. & o.
The valuable herd of Jersey cattle belong
ing to Messrs. Watts Seth, of Baltimore county,
were lately killed by order of the State cattle in
spectors, who said they had pleuro-pneumonia.
One of the cows of this herd cost $4,000 and an
other $4,000. 1t is understood that Messrs. Watts
& Seth have abandoned cattle breeding and will
turn their attention to horses and ponies.
Mr. Franz Miller, the new keeper of the
Court House. has lately been very busy getting
the grounds in good shape for the summer, and
they now present very neat appearance. The
cutters have been cleaned and everything put in
proper order SO that the beautiful park in which
the people have just pride, will be credit to the
county aswell as to Mr.. Miller, who deserves COM
mendation for his efficiency and the taste he dis
plays
Referring to the new schedule on the Mary
land Central road the Belair Democrat says: "Bel-
air and stations south of it have all the trains
they can reasonably ask for, and they run at such
times as will accommodate the travelling public.
Should the Receivers find it to the advantage of
the company to restore the rates prevailing prior
to the LIST of April, particularly to commuters,
their patrons would find no fault with the other
wise satisfactory management of the road"
The Maryland Central railroad authorities
should offer better accommodations FOR the travel
ing public at Towsontown station. The rooms
here are too small for comfort, and there are
not half seats enough. In addition, when there
is rain, the surroundings of the station are
vast mud-hole, and people almost mire in
reaching it. A small expenditure would remedy
these serious defects and contribute greatly to the
comfort of the people who patronize the road

The dizziness in all branches OF business con-

mains there is no likelihood of much improve
ment. There is very little, if any, speculative
feeling, and prices are generally depressed. The
new wheat is coming in slowly and in bad condi-
tion generally. Why farmers will not devote
more attention to the condition OF their grain be-
fore shipping it to market is passing strange, es-
pecially considering the difference in price be-
tween the good and Indifferent. Money matters
